NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

ntfslabel will display or change the file system label on the ntfs file system located on
device.

If the optional argument
new-label is not present,
ntfslabel will simply display the current file system label.

If the optional argument
new-label is present, then
ntfslabel will set the file system label to be
new-label. NTFS file system labels can be at most 128 Unicode characters long; if
new-label is longer than 128 Unicode characters,
ntfslabel will truncate it and print a warning message.

It is also possible to set the file system label using the
-L option of
mkntfs(8)during creation of the file system.
